Vijay anyone?


the question you have to ask yourself is "are the 2 back to back playoff wins equal to the 2 majors by Paddy?"

No. And look at his record in the other majors. Not even close.

There is actually a debate here? It's a slam dunk for P. H., being a fan or not. Two majors in the style he won was equalled by no one this year.

So you guys feel that Paddy's missed cuts at Deutch and Barclays, and T55 at BMW, leading to him not making the Tour Championship, are of less relevance than Vijay having a T-14 (Masters) and 3 missed cuts in Majors. You are of the "Majors make the POY" school. Of course Paddy's "comeback win" in the Open was against the guy who loves to give the 2nd place guy the win on Sunday.

Others have the "what have you done for me lately" attitude...leaving Vijay as the front runner.

Then there are the "total wins" people...leaving Tiger a possibility. And taking into account he only entered 6 tournaments, winning 4 (one Major) and finishing 2 (Masters) and 5 (WGC)..all quality tournaments....he still has a real case.



I, personally, would love to see Tiger win it. I dont like the woodchuck or smiley at all, but with Vijay winning the FedEx hands down, I think the voting may be pretty close. Majors vs what have you done for me lately. Vijays chances may ride on how he plays the Championship after his poor outing in St Louis.

The answer to that question is a RESOUNDING no. 2 playoff wins are very nice...the points championship is also nice. However, it does not compare to winning 2 of 4 majors. Not even close.

      My Swing (Ty_Webb)

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      Got told off yesterday for doing full swings and full speed swings so went to the range this lunchtime and did some slow speed stuff and freezers. A few videos from my session.    First few are DTL then some FO This one is of me looking at the club on the way back. I think I get my arms lifting all the way back, not that you’d know because YouTube keeps glitching on me.    Second one is two slow backswings. This glitches the first one but the glitch looks like a pretty good position so I’ll live. Second one works. Then another swing back and hit. When I’m not watching or really focusing on it it seems that my upper arm doesn’t lift at first, rather stays roughly where it is and I add the lift at the end so the club comes a bit more inside. I think that’s what I’m going to focus on. This one glitches a bit too but it’s really just pausing. This shows the club coming a bit more inside but not as laid off at the top Then a couple of face on ones And lastly one smoothie and one freezer at normal speed  Quite happy with how this went. I can see my arms are better when I take it slower. Also while I’m still pitching my arms out it doesn’t seem to be as extreme as yesterday. Light at the end of the tunnel 🙂
